Kinetic Energy-energy in motion
The cheetah is moving very fast to catch the gazelle it is performing kinetic energy.
Demonstration: I am potential energy and Emerson is kinetic energy. Hey Emerson...I hope you are not demostrating this in class right now-Mr. P. and then we will switch.
Potential Energy-energy stored in an object
The ball is at the top of the hill and the energy is inside it because it has the potential to move.
Chemical Energy
Definition-potential energy stored in chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together.
Chemical energy is used in chocolate, wood and wax as compounds and stored in foods and used to light a candle it is even stored in the cells of your body.
The chocolate you eat has energy in it.
In the design I would make a type of wood floor that has a cool feature to it so that it shows the chemical compounds.
Mechanical Energy
Definition-energy associated with the motion or position of an object.
Mechanical energy is like the bus you ride in or a frog.
The car was speeding at speeds over 100 mph!
I would put a huge newtons cradle with big foam balls and let the kids play with it for a couple seconds and run through it.
Nuclear Energy
Definition- Stored in the core, or nucleus of an atom. It happens when a nucleus splits or nuclei fuse or join together.
Nuclear energy is used in nuclear power plants.
Nuclear energy is a very dangerous type of energy.
I would have a soft substance explode maybe...
Electromagnetic Energy
Definition-travels in waves and anything that has to do with light basically.
visible light, ultraviolet radiation, microwaves and infared radiation are all examples
That light looks like it has a bunch of electromagnetic energy.
I would have some ultra violet lighting throughout the experiment
Electrical energy
Definition-means moving electrical charges to produce electricity
batteries, powerlines, radios, lights, and computers are things that use electrical energy
look at the energy in the light
we could have some flashing lights
Thermal Energy
Definition- total energy of particals in an object
heater, microwave, oven and a toaster uses thermal energy
The ice cream melts from the heatWe could put something in a micro wave and make it pop open
